Well, I disassembled the cap and cleaned all the gunk out. I also tried running the bike with the cap slightly ajar. Unfortunately, the bike is giving me the same issues it was giving me yesterday. It starts, but the idle is all over the place (2-4k rpms) and it won't accept ANY throttle (so adjusting the idle screw doesn't make a difference). When I go to turn the throttle, the there is a strange noise - I don't know how to describe it other than "foop foop foop foop, etc" - it almost sounds like someone is beating on a rug (you know, like when you're cleaning it outside) at a high speed. It's a really low, dead/muffled sound and it takes over the higher pinging sound the idling makes.

Any thoughts on what to check next? Thanks!
